LOST Characters and Their Athlete Counterparts

With the final episode of LOST happening Sunday night, I have decided to compare Lost characters with athletes. The show, which will go down as one of the best television shows in history, is one show that leaves so many questions unanswered. So this is where I answer a big question: which athlete are the characters most similar to?

Kate Austen is...

...Alex Rodriguez

Let's see. A-Rod got in trouble with the law, but like Kate, told the truth, and is still worshiped by many. He also has the looks like Kate, and has great talent. And A-Rod, like Kate is to Jack, is a secondary leader. But a much needed one at that. Like Kate, A-Rod has become bad-guy gone good. For now at least.

...Chad Ochocinco

John Locke Is...

We're talking about the original John Locke here, not the body of John Locke possessed by the Man In Black. The original John Locke was a man of faith, not science. He was a hunter, and refused to be told that he couldn't do something.

...Charles Barkley

Sun Kwon Is...

These people are really hard to recognize when they look like they live in the real world and not the nasty island. Here we have Sun, who is kind yet powerful. She is a follower but utilizes her power when the time is right.

...John Havlicek

I apologize for comparing women to men, but these comparisons are about characteristics, not looks. Havlicek (far left in the picture) ended up being a Hall-of-Famer, but was often overshadowed by Bill Russell. Being the important athlete that the team needed, he was always there. And he came up big when he made his famous steal. He rose to the occasion, much as Sun does when she has to.

Jin Kwon Is...

...Andre Agassi

Like Jin, Agassi was a hothead at the beginning of his career. But he came around, and ended up being a great person. And he was always good at tennis, a constant in the tennis world, much like Jin is a constant fighter on the island.
